I am aware that Lenovo has build this before, however if it is a really good product why they did not release it? In fact there is even no pics. I highly doubt if they made it in a commercial level.
I don't work for Motorola but I went to the hackathons and met a lot of their engineers and I would guess the reason they didn't release a lot of their in-house products is to allow others to build and release them. If they build all the mods it would be like Apple building all the apps in the app store; it would not foster 3rd party involvement.

Also, there is no reason why someone else couldn't make a qwerty slider which does not obscure the camera, or a portrait slider, or a slider like the Nokia E70, or a slider with IR blaster.

I am glad you are building the mod the way you think it should be built. That is the beauty of their open platform. I can't wait for you to launch. Good luck.
